I have a function dependent on 4 variables . I'm looking to minimize this function in the domain with respect to the variables and .
To find the minima, I first solved and , giving and . Now I have the function of the form
Now I solved for .
So, the final function is of the form which is fine. Now I see later that and .
So, if I directly look for the function and it's minima wrt , it's giving a different result, i.e. I have
even though and . Why is this the case? Are there other simple examples?
The function is
